What is a CBD balm?

A CBD balm is a skilful blend of hemp extracts and natural ingredients. This type of product is often used to support or complement a cream or balm applied beforehand, notably to soothe and care for the skin when necessary.

Antioxidant, with anti-inflammatory properties, the balm is a quick and easy-to-apply solution which, thanks to its natural ability to soothe, moisturizes and cares for the skin.

Most often, people who use CBD balm suffer from skin infections like:

eczema;
psoriasis;
Acne;
wrinkles and other inflammations.

The basic ingredients allow us to get straight to the point, especially as the balm is very easy to apply. After first treating the skin with the usual skincare products, simply cleanse the epidermis with a glove of warm water and apply the balm until the skin fully absorbs the product and thus the CBD. Applying a THC-free balm is perfect for protecting and strengthening the body.

What is a CBD cream?

Unlike CBD balm, organic cream has a lighter, more liquid consistency. In short, a CBD cream is a classic cream, except that it's enriched with cannabidiol. The creams are also very simple to use, as they are applied to the skin. All you have to do is gently massage the targeted area until the cream is completely absorbed.

Most often, CBD creams are used to relieve pain, but also to promote muscle recovery. This is why this type of product is often used by top athletes. It's part of their training and recovery strategy. Allowing them to optimize their performance.

As such, there are numerous creams and different types of cream. For example, some creams can be used to massage legs, feet or muscles directly. So, depending on the sport and specialization, athletes can recover quickly.

In addition, the creams are enriched with complementary natural ingredients, whose combined action with cannabinoids does not attack the skin and promotes care, relaxation and recovery. These recovery sessions are also optimized by the consumption ofoil from hemp (legal cannabis), maximizing the benefits for the body.

What is a CBD serum?

CBD serum differs from balm and cream in that it is the skin care product that acts most deeply on the epidermis. It is particularly used in beauty and wellness routines, as it can be used to address certain very specific problems, such as :

Complexion radiance;
Wrinkles and fine lines;
Imperfections.

Using a CBD serum is easy. The first step is to cleanse the skin with a glove and warm water. Then simply add a few drops of CBD serum to your skin, just before applying a moisturizer. This maximizes the effects and produces more convincing results, thanks in particular to the many acids (such as hyaluronic acid) and vitamins present in this type of product.

There are several types of CBD serum, to meet the needs of all skin types. Retailers, remember to support your customers as best you can by asking them about their goals and their skin, so that you can offer them the product best suited to their needs! Thinking of ordering?
